Editorial Reviews

Review

"It is the essential guide to purchasing a baby Fiat, identifying what to look for in order to acquire the right car at the right price." – Fleet Car

Auto Italia, June 2008
UK magazine
 
A beginner's guide to identifying the multitude of Fiat 500 models, the sister 600 and the restoration thereof. It's all pretty straightforward stuff with advice like, "Attempting a basket case might initially be tempting. To see the project through requires much commitment, however." Not to mention tons of cash, which will far exceed the value of the car!

If you are new to the classic car game, then this book would be quite useful. It's not a masterpiece of design and layout, but then it doesn't really need to be.



 Fiat Club Africa, 2008
South Africa

Now here is an interesting book. I have many prospective and existing club members who have an endless set of questions about these little gems; which is the better, a 500 or a 600? Will I like it? What are the differences? How practical? And so forth.

In this handy sized book, Malcolm tries to answer the major questions covering the Fiat 500, 126 and 600 mainstream models through the years and point out the many positives as well as the pitfalls, that a 50-year-old car could have. Both the 500 and 600 have seen a huge upsurge in interest of late both with the revival of Fiat as a company doing exceptional small cars again and of course with the latest fashion icon the New 500, due to come to South Africa this year.

This book will help the reader select the best option for and guide the reader through the tire kicking and buying processes in Malcolm’s concise, easy and often humorous writing style. As a relatively small book, it however is not an encyclopedia on these models and does miss out some of the detail that could leave the deep enthusiast a little frustrated. For everyone else this is a great book, even if you decide that the real McCoy is not for you, and you would rather plump for a New 500 with all the toys, you will not have wasted your money.

Enjoy the read and happy hunting.

Veloce's range of Essential Buyer's Guides keeps on expanding, with these two titles by Malcolm Bobbitt taking on two extremes of the classic market - Rolls-Royce and Fiat. It's a tried and trusted format, covering common faults, model variations and the state of their particular market. Before you even think of buying the car, it's worth investing a in one of these little books. You need to know what you're getting into.

--This text refers to the Paperback edition.


Product Description

From the famous Topolino of the 30s, to the modern Seicento, here's the full and eventful story of the baby Fiats, with particular emphasis on the now classic 600 and Nuova 500 of the 50s, 60s and 70s. Always big on character, Fiat's little cars played an important international role in providing affordable and practical private transport for millions. Built in, and exported to many countries outside the marque's native Italy, over 6.5 million Topolinos, 600s and Nuova 500s were sold and an amazing number survive today. Read, too, about wonderful models built on these tiny chassis by Italy's leading coachbuilders, licensed models from other manufacturers and the motorsport success achieved by Abarth versions of the small cars everyone loves.

Completely updated & enlarged second edition of a popular Veloce classic. Now with detailed coverage of the popular Seicento, 192 art paper pages and over 200 pictures, many in color.
